We consider an assortment and price optimization problem where a retailer chooses an assortment of competing products and determines their prices to maximize the total expected profit subject to a capacity constraint. Customers' purchase behavior follows the multinomial logit choice model with...

We study firms that sell multiple substitutable products and customers whose purchase behavior follows a Nested Logit model, of which the Multinomial Logit model is a special case. Customers make purchasing decision sequentially under the Nested Logit model: they first select a nest of products...

This paper incorporates heterogeneous threshold effects into the classical multinomial logit (MNL) model, and studies the associated operations problems such as estimation and assortment optimization. The derived model is referred to as the threshold multinomial logit (TMNL) model and...
